CoinMarketCal is the leading economic calendar for crypto assets, providing investors with timely insights into market-moving events like news, partnerships, and trends.

With high-value traffic and a loyal user base, the site had solid monetization potential, but the team needed a better system to unlock it. Thus, running internal ad operations was time-consuming, left revenue on the table, and required juggling too many tools.

That’s where Sevio stepped in. We recognized these challenges and built tools to help publishers tap into the full value of every impression through smarter, more transparent bid requests.

Challenges Faced by CoinMarketCal

CoinMarketCal is a cryptocurrency events calendar that tracks upcoming happenings across blockchain projects, exchanges, and protocols. Users rely on it to discover key dates like token launches, exchange listings, airdrops, hard forks, roadmap updates, and events that often trigger price movements.

CoinMarketCal had successfully built a strong presence in the crypto space, attracting high-quality traffic and a loyal user base. However, as their platform grew, so did the complexity of managing monetization efforts.

While they were monetizing through Coinzilla, handling advertiser relationships, and running daily ad operations, this placed increasing pressure on their team. It became clear that to unlock the next level of performance, they needed more than just a reliable ad network: a full-service solution that included sales representation, streamlined communication with advertisers, and dedicated support for campaign management.

Transitioning their activities to Sevio consolidated these needs into a single, efficient system, freeing up internal resources while ensuring their inventory was managed and presented at the highest level.

Sevio’s Approach and Solution

The partnership began with one goal: to take the pressure off CoinMarketCal’s team while increasing ad revenue.

We didn’t just give CoinMarketCal a tool. We brought them a fully managed monetization engine. With Sevio’s Ad Manager and hands-on sales expertise, we helped turn passive ad zones into strategic revenue streams.

STEP 1

Monetization Infrastructure Upgrade

Placement Optimization

Sevio conducted a detailed analysis of CoinMarketCal’s site layout to identify top-performing, high-visibility zones. Custom ad tags were provided for each position, making integration fast and frictionless.

Demand Diversification

Beyond Coinzilla, Sevio integrated multiple demand sources from crypto and mainstream advertising networks to ensure maximum fill rates, increased eCPMs, and full traffic monetization.

All-in-One Ad Management Platform

CoinMarketCal integrated Sevio Ad Manager into our partnership, allowing our team to manage fixed campaigns, CPM ads, and Google AdSense within one streamlined platform.

STEP 2

Fully Managed Sales Services

End-to-End Sales Management

Through Sevio’s Sales Representative service, we took over CoinMarketCal’s advertising sales operations. Our teams created and maintained a detailed Media Kit outlining available ad formats, pricing structures, and campaign options, ensuring consistent and professional communication with potential advertisers.

Simplifying the Ad Process from Lead to Invoice

Sevio managed all advertiser interactions, from initial outreach and deal negotiation to campaign execution and performance reporting. Our sales team handled lead generation, client onboarding, ad trafficking, ongoing monitoring, and renewal follow-ups. CoinMarketCal’s only involvement was issuing invoices once deals were finalized.

This combined approach, focusing on optimizing ad formats, maximizing inventory, and leveraging the expertise of our Sales Representative service, proved to be a winning strategy for CoinMarketCal.com. They experienced a substantial increase in website revenue while streamlining their ad operations.
